WESTPORT TERMINAL RR

update

Flaggy flagman

I saw the idea in the narrow gauge group by Laurie, and I had to build one too.

That's the workbench with tools.	You see the magnet wire from an old relay, a PC board tie, SMD resistor and LED, tweezers and pin vise with 0,3 mm drill.	The hard part is done, drilling through the Preiser's body. The wire pair goes from shoe to hip and from elbow to hand inside.
PC board with 1500 Ohm resistor and two brass squares.	The brass squares go like the wheel flanges inside the rails.	The second hardes part was soldering the two wires to the SMD LED.
Testing !!!	PC board with temporary soldered wires	Flagman with SMD LED glued into his hand with CA
The tiny LED	The wire in his armpit is also glued with CA	... and testing. Flagman glued to PC board
Now the two wires can be soldered with correct length (shortness)	Testing	Testing, the brass squares have still contact
The white LED has got a red color (your eye will see the red, that's only the camera with white)	More color, the frame of the lantern (=LED) with black	And more fun with a parade
